Austrian MotoGP at Red Bull Ring: Friday Practice as it happened

Odd couple of moments for Fabio Quartararo. He's eighth at the moment but was reaching for the back of his upper leg on his latest in-lap.

Savadori forced to pit for the smoke from his bike - he's shown the black flag.

TV replay shows Aleix Espargaro cruising on the outside of turn four, Maverick Vinales run in hot behind him, as Lorenzo Savadori goes past with smoke pouring out of his exhaust. It's not going well for Aprilia.

Crash for Stefan Bradl at the 2a-2b chicane. He's back up and about to ride back to pit lane.

It's a Ducati 1-2-3 at the moment but Brad Binder gets up to fourth for KTM, Miller there in fifth, too.

Bagnaia on another improving lap, and goes fastest by 0.2 seconds.

Marc Marquez now to the top. Sector four was his weakness this morning but he just took 0.2 seconds out of Bagnaia in the final split on his latest lap.

Bagnaia goes fastest, but it looked like he touched the green on the exit of turn nine.

Martin fastest now, just a couple of hundredths better than Bagnaia's time. Quartararo up to sixth for Yamaha, too.

Bastianini makes like Martin and runs on at turn four. No major issues, though, and he doesn't even bother pitting.

Bagnaia fastest now, his 1:29.637 is already better than the best time of FP1.

Jack Miller moves the session into the 1:29s as he hits the top.

There's an early run-off for Jorge Martin at turn four, while Marc Marquez has set the early pace, albeit in the 1:31s.

Practice is now green in Austria, we're go for one hour to decide who makes it into the top 10 and who has to go to Q1 tomorrow.

We're just under five minutes out from the beginning of Practice in Austria now.

There were also a number of crashes this morning, with Pedro Acosta's turn four crash being the most notable, as the #31 broughtoutthered flag with three minutes ofFP1 to go. He appeared to be fine afterwards, though,and should be in action here in Practice.

This morning, Jorge Martin was fastest as he was one of the only riders to make a late time attack on a soft-compound reat tyre.

Welcome back to live coverage of this weekend's MotoGP Austrian Grand Prix, as we're just over 15 minutes out from the beginning of Practice at the Red Bull Ring.

The chequered flag is now out, and Jorge Martint tops MotoGP FP1 from Franco Morbidelli and Pol Espargaro.

Pecco Bagnaia now running off-track, as Marc Marquez crosses the line to improve, but he's down in 17th after that.

The session is now back underway. Everyone on track bar Acosta. There's just over two minutes on the clock, so not much time to best Martin's 1:29.654.

Some replays on the TV feed now showing what was some fairly significant damage on the left-hand side of Acosta's bike after his 2b crash. He didn't return to the pits after that, and then crashed in the left-hand kink in braking before turn four.

Red flag now after the Acosta crash.
